Python Fundamentals: Parts 1-4

April 5, 2022, 9:00am
This four-part, interactive workshop series is your complete introduction to programming Python for people with little or no previous programming experience. By the end of the series, you will be able to apply your knowledge of basic principles of programming and data manipulation to a real-world social science application.

Python Fundamentals: Parts 1-2 (4pm-7pm)

March 29, 2022, 4:00pm
Evening workshop 4-7pm. This two-part, interactive workshop series is your complete introduction to programming Python for people with little or no previous programming experience. By the end of the series, you will be able to apply your knowledge of basic principles of programming and data manipulation to a real-world social science application.

Python Text Analysis: Word Embeddings

April 6, 2022, 3:00pm
How can we use neural networks to create meaningful representations of words? The bag-of-words is limited in its ability to characterize text, because it does not utilize word context.

Python Text Analysis Fundamentals: Parts 1-2

March 28, 2022, 3:00pm
This two-part workshop series will prepare participants to move forward with research that uses text analysis, with a special focus on humanities and social science applications.

Python Deep Learning: Parts 1-2

March 28, 2022, 9:00am
This workshop presents a brief history of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and an explanation of the intuition behind them; a step-by-step reconstruction of a very basic ANN, and then how to use the scikit-learn library to implement an ANN for solving a classification problem.

Python Data Wrangling and Manipulation with Pandas (5pm-8pm)

March 29, 2022, 5:00pm
Pandas is a Python package that provides fast, flexible, and expressive data structures designed to make working with 'relational' or 'labeled' data both easy and intuitive. It enables doing practical, real world data analysis in Python. In this workshop, we'll work with example data and go through the various steps you might need to prepare data for analysis.

Python Web Scraping

April 5, 2022, 1:00pm
In this workshop, we cover how to extract data from the web using Python. We focus on two approaches to extracting data from the web: leveraging application programming interfaces (APIs) and web scraping.

Python Visualization (5pm-8pm)

March 31, 2022, 5:00pm
For this workshop, we'll provide an introduction to visualization with Python. We'll cover visualization theory and plotting with Matplotlib and Seaborn, working through examples in a Jupyter notebook.

Linguistics

I am a Ph.D. student in Linguistics. My research interests include understanding how our speech production and speech perception systems constrain linguistic variation, especially as it applies to the larynx. I am also interested in integrating theoretical representations of language with speech. I approach this using a broad variety of tools/methodologies, including theoretical work, experiments, and modeling. Current projects include developing a computational tool to expedite the analysis of pitch and an online perception experiment on the relationship between pitch and perceived...
